ANNUAL FUND LETTER

Advocates for the Arts: Transforming Lives Through Music

 

November 4, 2024

 

Dear valued supporter of Music Works Northwest

​

We hope this message finds you well! Your support has been invaluable to the Music Works family. Over the past two years as Executive Director, I've had the privilege of harmonizing with many of you and witnessing the profound symphony of impact that music has had on your lives. Sharing this melodic journey with you has been an absolute joy. Thank you for being a part of our vibrant music community.

​

We're thrilled to announce we are approaching our 60th anniversary! The Imperials Drum & Bugle Corps was founded in October 1965 and became a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization a year later. In 1998, we rebranded as Music Works Northwest and moved to Bellevue. For nearly 60 years, we've remained dedicated to our mission of changing lives through music.

​

At Music Works Northwest, we pride ourselves on being more than just a non-profit community music school; we are true Advocates for the Arts. We're dedicated to transforming lives through the magic of music. By fostering an inclusive and vibrant community, we ensure that everyone - regardless of age, ability, or economic status - can experience the profound benefits of music education and therapy.

​

Our Highlights from the Past Year Include:

  • Expanded our teaching staff by over 25% to expand our capacity for offering lessons

  • Boosted our summer camp enrollment by over 20%.

  • Increased outreach and free tune-up programs in public schools.

  • Provided over $10,000 in tuition assistance and scholarships.

  • Strengthened our board of directors with new members

​

At our October board retreat, we set our main goal for this fiscal year: to grow our student enrollment while also boosting the tuition assistance we provide.
